Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

While owner Fred Wilpon says GM Omar Minaya and manager Jerry Manuel will return next season, there is a chance hitting coach Howard Johnson might unfairly take the fall for the Mets' poor season.

there's nothing unfair about it

he told wright to alter his approach.

he should be blacklisted from baseball for that.

but I also think

that Wright gets some of the blame for listening and staying with the changed approach.

He’s the star, and makes 100 times more money.

He could have told Hojo to fuck off after 2 months. What was Hojo gonna do ?. Go on SNY and bitch about Wright ?. I don’t think so.

Exactly fjm...

Hojo shouldn’t have even been back for this season anyway. If he wasn’t an 86 guy this wouldn’t even be a discussion.

Well, that's another strike against my willingness to continue to root for the Mets.

Manuel and Minaya gots to goz.

Maybe that pisses off our superstar

though in retrospect, it might have been foolish to put the “baseball father” of one of our superstars in such a position where you can’t fire him without potentially alienating said star.

Nothing can get by him; especially in a small room: Mike Francessa

I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
In order to raise extra capital, the Mets have explored signing Kosuke Fukudome to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training (replete with curiously high uniform number).
i saw this on the marlins statue/abomination story. gif in the comments
